We stayed here for one night and had stayed here before - an acceptable and reasonable place to stay - room has been recently renovated and is very well appointed - very good sized bathroom and great shower - bed was fine and did have a selection of pillows - Hotel is on the corner of the highway and another street - depending on the location of you room noise could be an issue and this time it was. Cleanliness was overall to a. High standard but there was mould under the shower screen - there is parking supplied but your spot is not assigned so you may end up parking a little bit away from your room. Overall an above average premises with a range of different rooms - the main issue we had was road noise from the side street as our room backed onto it and noise from the communal BBQ area where residents sat around until 0230 laughing, talking loudly etc. it was a Friday night and the place was at full occupancy.

Overnight stay, clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. Off-street parking very tight and squishy, especially with a larger (4WD) vehicle. Will stay again when next in Warrnambool.

We wasted our money on this one. While it’s true that you get what you paid for, I didn’t find the room sanitised enough. We didn’t even last for an hour in the room as I started itching and feeling flushed.

NOISY this place is right on the corner of a busy intersection. Truck and cars noises can be heard like your sitting on the kerb. Certainly wouldn't recommend rooms near the road. Some soundproofing and double glazed windows would make it a lot more comfortable. Clean rooms with good amenities. Close to shops and dining which is covenient.

Motel has recently changed names and has no reception on site so we were a little confused but worked things out once we checked their email and called for room details. Traffic was quite noisy on arrival but was quiet overnight. A very comfortable room and easy walk to restaurant.
